Repetitive Viral Loops work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
The monthly newsletter, drafted
Today
Each month you stare at a blank template in Viral Loops, trying to remember what happened that customers would care about. The newsletter goes out late, or not at all.
With Flann
“Draft this month’s newsletter in Viral Loops: new autumn menu, the quiz night and our Sunday opening.”
Flann writes the newsletter in your voice, uses a layout you have sent before from Viral Loops and offers a choice of subject lines. It saves nothing yet.
What you stop doing: No more blank template at the end of the month.
Pruning bounces and sleepers
Today
Bounced addresses and subscribers who have not opened anything in months sit in Viral Loops, dragging down your sender reputation. Cleaning them means exporting, filtering and importing again.
With Flann
“Find hard bounces and anyone in Viral Loops who has not opened since spring.”
Searching Viral Loops, Flann separates hard bounces from subscribers who have simply gone quiet. For the quiet ones it can draft a last-chance email that asks whether they still want to hear from you.
What you stop doing: List hygiene no longer means a spreadsheet export.
